Research also suggests that children who are exposed to models of logical reasoning by their parents are more likely to exhibit empathy at younger ages. Henry et al. (1996) found that adolescents who witness their parents using logical reasoning to solve problems are more likely to report higher levels of perspective taking, and a greater ability to understand the situation of another person. The authors conclude that adolescents of parents who engage in logical reasoning become socialized to use cognitive processes when trying to understand another individual's feelings or emotional state (Henry et al., 1996).
